Cyberwar: Anonymous Hack Nigerian Government Over ‘corruption, Poverty And Theft by Farnsworth: 9:29am On Jan 10, 2016 |
International hacktivist group Anonymous has targeted a number of official Nigerian government websites as part of an operation to weed out corruption and tackle poverty in the country. Known for previous attacks on religious organizations, political figures and terrorists, the hacking collective issued a call for followers to “take out” Nigerian government websites. Posting on Twitter, the secretive group threatened to leak data unless “selfish politicians” address widespread corruption, rising unemployment and problems with healthcare. The statement referenced allegations of stolen oil money and missing public funds as reasons for the Operation Nigeria hack. “Let them see that we have Anonymous Nigeria,” the group said, “... Let them know we are anonymous, we are legion, we do not forgive, we do not forget, they should have expected us.” On Friday, images showing websites belonging to the Nigerian state being tampered with, including the Federal Ministry of Justice, Customs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, were published online. It follows another hacking operation, which targeted 14 Thai police websites. In a video Anonymous accused Thai authorities of “scapegoating” two Burmese migrant workers sentenced to death for the murder of two British backpackers. https://www.rt.com/news/328382-cyberwar-anonymous-hack-nigerian-government/ |

These bored children from developed nations don't know this country does not rely on digital technology. Why hack our sites when papers and pens still exist for record-keeping? Phones and fax machines still exist for communication. If it was a government of tech-savvy thirty-something year olds I would've feared but this is a government of dinosaurs who see online activities as a luxurious frivolity. Anonymous has a better chance of passing a camel through the eye of a needle than arm-twisting our government to demands using the Internet. |
